    That would be a huge pay cut.

    Reading this, there was no way Briles could stay. I'm surprised the AD isn't out as well. (Starr should be completely gone as well, but it's no surprise they're covering for him to the extent they can.)

    The AD is suspended, and Starr will quietly be moved out since he has been removed from the presidency. There were also other dismissals from the athletic department.

    Briles made a whole truckload of mistakes. He deserved his firing.

    Do I think other coaches - revered men - did some of this 20, 30, 40 years ago? Yes.

    Do I think the standard of what sexual assault is - and the kind of lawsuit-associated costs it can create - has vastly changed in the last 10 years? Yes.

    My question is ... does this same sort of thing cost Tennessee's Butch Jones his job?

    Includes this graph.

    For the AD to have kept his job (especially since he was hired in the wake of the Dave Bliss thing) he must have spilled his guts about Starr and Briles and had documentation to back it up.

    But, but, but that's a fine, upstanding, god-fearing Baptist university.

    "For Church, For Texas" ... unless we need to cover up some crimes against co-eds to protect the football team.
